has anyone even heard of this? i discovered it by accident in my MCAT book and looked it up and stuff. basically its more holistic than "allopathic" medicine (normal med school). You get a DO (doctorate of osteopathy) instead of an MD, but you can still prescribe drugs and work in normal hospitals and all that. It's supposed to focus more on the person as a whole and preventive medicine, which I like. You're much less likely to specialize. Like 70% or something go into family practice/internal medicine.
Does anyone have an osteopathic physician or know one or know anything about it besides what I can read online?
osteopathic medicine?

osteopathic medicine used to focus on the manual manipultion of the body as treatments (hence the osteo part of the name) but now they there is not a lot of difference in the practice of osteopathic and allopathic medicine. if is one of the few forms of medicine that survived in the united states after the flexner report (google it). i've worked with the DO that started the clinic for the working poor that i posted for you a while back.

hi-placeboeffect-fi
Its all a placebo, with no scientific evidence to back it up. It's all nonsense about water having a "memory". Absolute shit.
anecdotal evidence shouldn't fly in the medical industry. i find it amazing that straight-thinking people get taken up in this crap
